My hubby and I cannot narrow down the names from our list. We are not sharing with friends and family, so we can't ask for opinions there. Please vote for your favorite name for our baby boy!

I like Asher the best. I also really like Kyler (but spelled with the "e" and not "a"). Nash is cute too but sounds more like a nn to me. Good luck deciding!
My husband and I were torn between two names, so we took test runs with them.
We called her one name for two weeks and then were supposed to switch to the second name for two weeks after that. But we decided we missed calling her the first name, so we just decided that we'd stick with that.
Practice saying the name. I got that advice from my best friend. She said to have DH randomly say the name your thinking and see if it starts to annoy you. She was set on a name for her first born and then went to the grocery store and another mother was trying to wrangle her child with that name. She kept hearing her say it over and over while the other mom was tending to the child and realized she didn't like it as much as she thought.
Thanks for your help, ladies! I think that helped push my hubby along a little. I agree that Kylar should be "er" instead, and he does not like it. It is much better than the other spelling of it he had picked out... Kailer. YUCK!! He is afraid that people will call him Kyle if it is spelled Kyler. It was our compromise.
Honestly, it is not even close to my top pick anymore, but still is his.
I think we are going to practice with our top 2 names for a while, like suggested and see where that gets us. Good thing we still have 10 weeks to go!

I like Paxton and Asher.

Good luck!
